Detroit’s two mayoral candidates will square off in their first televised debate Sunday morning.

The debate between former Detroit Medical Center CEO Mike Duggan and Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon will air from 11 a.m. to noon on CBS 62 and on WWJ Newsradio 950. It’s called “Michigan Matters: the Great Debate for the Mayor of Detroit.”

The pre-taped debate, which is sponsored by CBS 62, WWJ Newsradio 950 and the Michigan Chronicle, was not open to the public.

The candidates will also face each other in a live debate at a Detroit Economic Club event Wednesday at Cobo Center. Tickets are required and are available at www.EconClub.org/Meetings/
